I've driven by this place sooo many times but never had the chance to try till now! I stopped by…read moreduring lunchtime and ordered a bowl with purple rice and spicy chicken. My total before tip/tax was $12.50, which is amazing for the quality and portion! Other than base + protein, the bowls also come with pickled veggies, kimchi, broccoli, and a side of their green (cilantro jalapeno) sauce. The wait was reasonable considering they were also finishing up a pretty large order when I came in. All of the flavors worked so well! I was particularly surprised with the green sauce-I've had it with so many other cuisines but never thought to pair it with Korean food. The bowl was filling while still feeling healthy and nutritious. I will say the spicy chicken really isn't spicy (the kimchi is much spicier by comparison), so I would love for spice levels to be ramped up a bit. The interior is cozy in a homey-older restaurant type of way. There's a good amount of seating but it seems like a lot of people order takeout. I also noticed that the staff speak incredibly kindly with each other, which was so lovely to see! This seems like a small business you can feel good about supporting.

I'll likely come back again. The only thing that might stop me is the small parking lot that is shared with Walmart.

Respectfully this review may sound harsh but it's 1000% truth…read more The burger...eww. Why? Low grade, FOUL smelling Jennio-O caliber meat quality at best. And desert dry at that. If you're okay with this, then have at it. But just remember this review when you smell this under seasoned chunk of rancid meat you just spent your hard earned money on. The first thing I noticed cutting into this burger was the scent. It was FOUL. And then I instantly remembered why it has been 2 years since I visited this place. Same experience. This meat cannot be fresh whatsoever. It stinks. But to no surprise, it mirrors the poor quality of the fries (mid at best) and the knock off hidden valley ranch disguised as a house ranch you have to pay extra for. TBH the idea of a burger spot specializing in turkey burgers is really unique and opens up options that are both simple and satisfying. However, the turkey-- where you buy it, how you store it and the overall quality is the star of the show, and this ain't it. Simply put, it's not for me. I could not eat this food. Not to mention I feel there is a bit of deflection on the workers part when a concern is politely brought to their attention. The food, guaranteed IS NOT FRESH. I recommend Chinollo across the street. Fresh, high quality and juicy farm raised meats paired with equally high quality sides made in house (not frozen), fresh veg, fresh hand cut fries, house made sodas, milk teas and teas; nothing reeks of left over food being sold at ransom prices

I was on my way to work and running a little late otherwise I would've turned around and gave them the biscuit sandwich back. I have never had such poor quality at this particular Chick-fil-A. Of course I still support my local Chick-fil-A. I hope they see this review and make some changes. I understand I got there at 10:20 am but I don't expect the quality to be that poor.

On the positive side, their charbroiled hamburgers, pastrami sandwiches, and steak sandwiches are still delicious and full of flavor. I really hope they go back to the way they used to prepare their fried chicken dinners because that's what made this restaurant stand out. I'd love to see them return to the quality that made so many of us loyal customers.

As someone with a disability, I had to painfully hobble back into the restaurant to have the mistake corrected, which was frustrating enough on its own. When I explained the issue, the staff was not very friendly or sincerely apologetic. They remade the fries but said they would just keep my burger under the heat lamp while I waited. Unfortunately, when I finally got to my destination, I discovered they had given me the wrong burger as well. I ordered a Deluxe Double but received something else entirely. I paid for a meal I never actually received. Between the multiple mistakes, the lack of concern for the inconvenience they caused, and the poor customer service, this was an extremely frustrating experience. I expect much better!!!

Their hours of operation is very limited because they use the down time to prepare for the following week. They have low overhead, which means they are able to offer their meals at an affordable price and the quantity is bigger than most. We came here on the one Saturday they are open per month and there were lots of regulars here already. We wait a little while and got to know the owners a little more. We will be coming back to support this mom and pop.

I had JJ's several years ago & did not care for the texture of their bread as it was very "spongy" and "foam" like. FF to today and I was very impressed with their artisan bread (white). It was fresh, soft, and very tasty. The sandwich in this combo is 8" and they put the usual accoutrements (mayo, lettuce, tomatoes) but they do not pile on the ingredients (@ least not in the combo); however, it was perfect since I was not wanting to eat a heavy meal. You have several options for sides so I chose the greek cucumber salad and it was very tasty. You also get several options for the drink choices. I placed my order via their website with ease and the GPS told me it was 11 min away & by the time I arrived my order was ready!
